context_section_description: Teachers Building Society was formed in 1966 when the National Union of Teachers acquired the London Scottish Building Society in order to help its teacher members onto the property ladder.
  The Society offered low deposit mortgages from day one in an effort “to assist the younger teacher as far as possible.” Today, the Society continues to offer mortgages to teachers and other education professionals across England and Wales.
  The Teachers Building Society offices were originally based at Hamilton House in Bournemouth, Dorset. In 1976, the Society moved to Allenview House in Wimborne where it has remained ever since.
